Super Junior’s Leeteuk says, “I build muscle to give a strong image”

Super Junior’s Leeteuk, Yesung, Sungmin, Donghae, and Kyuhyun recently did a photo shoot for the August issue of the fashion & lifestyle magazine @ Star 1.

The five members did the photo shoot under the theme of exercise. Because Super Junior is a boy group, the reporter asked if they like doing exercise, and Leeteuk said, “I love doing and watching exercise.”

As a host of SBS TV’s Star King, Leeteuk said, “Because some guests are building up their bodies through a project now on Star King, I’m also working on building up my body. If I have time, I play basketball. I’m also focusing on weight training now. Because I have a skinny, weak boy’s image, I started building up my body in order to change that image. Unexpectedly, I found out that many women love my muscular body that doesn’t go with my weak image, so I’m trying to make my face whiter and my body darker.”

The pictorial of the five Super Junior members can be seen in the August issue of @ Star 1, which will be published on July 20.
